The Large Hadron Collider, some say, could destroy the world. Maybe even the universe. Now go watch some more sports.
Cartoon for March 31
If the Founding Fathers could see what a hash we’ve made of their country, they’d wonder why they bothered.
Reminder: you can buy the original on eBay. Auction ends soon!
Cartoon for March 29
To see the full artwork for this cartoon, you will need to refer to the print editions of newspapers that publish my work–assuming that there are any with the guts to do so. Due to its almost certainly controversial content, my syndicate declined to post it online.
My editors have always been exceptionally understanding. (They’d have to be!) They respect free speech and give me a lot of freedom. Given the content and the risks involved, I understand why they didn’t want to distribute this cartoon. If given the choice, however, I would have sent it out because, well, it’s a great cartoon.
Those who want to see it in its full glory should catch me at one of my upcoming public appearances.

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while–as in several years. Now I have! I’m offering a piece of my original artwork for sale on eBay: my cartoon for March 31, 2008.
Starting bid is 99 cents (no reserve), so I’m pretty sure someone will end up owning this thing. Here’s what the toon looks like:
Democracy at Work
Fellow cartoonist Tim Kreider said it first and said it best. I’m paraphrasing here, but he did a cartoon depicting an Aztec ritual human sacrifice. One onlooker remarks to the other, “Yeah, but it’s the best system yet conceived.” Or something like that.
Anyway, this cartoon is fairly self-explanatory. I hope.
